Episode 334
In today's episode we turn our attention to a non-cryptid animal that inspires fear in many,.. the shark. The book and film Jaws have made many afraid to go in the water, but did you know that the events of the book are loosely based on events that happened early in the 20th century? In July 1916 four people were killed by sharks in 11 days at the Jersey shore, some well inland on a river. The resulting fear and media explosion causing millions of dollars in losses to the tourist industry in the area.
